I must get this Sirius S50 when it comes out in October so I can be ready for Howard's move to satellite.

Banksy

This Banksy site is pretty cool.

Why Atheism?

This speech on atheism kind of sums up how I feel about religion in general. I'm not really sure if I'm agnostic or atheistic, but what I do know is that I want my children to ask these same questions about faith and not just blindly follow because "that's what everyone else thinks".

Shrek, Shark Tale Movies Hit GBA in October

The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS)

The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) is the organization that monitors the earth's rotation and they tell everyone when to tack on the precious "leap-seconds" to the calendar year to offset the fact that the moon's gravity causes the earth's rotation to not be exactly 24 hours. Anyway, these guys seem like they're pretty important...so why does their website look so crappy?

Oh....so that's why I can't get a Sammy on an airplane...

Head-to-head war: bottles vs. cans

Only in the comics...

In this new comic book from SpeakeasyComics.com, the cartographers are the superheros! "Journey to the Hidden Sea is a multi-issue graphic series by artist Frank Espinosa that follows the life and adventures of Rocketo Garrison, world-famous explorer and mapmaker. Set 2,000 years into a mythical future, the world as we know it has been destroyed in a catastrophe and its magnetic field distorted. The only way for mankind to now navigate through the broken land masses is by the unique abilities of the Mappers, a genetically engineered group of men andwomen who act as human compasses."
